Nice to see that some in Boston actually understand the respect part of the game we all love.

Glad that Looch and the gang are getting it from their own media...

I think the city and media really get it, but many fans on the other hand are a different story.

That was a really good read. Loved this picture

lol jesus christ milan

the way he was goin at it with emelin in the handshake you'd think it was lucic that blew out his ACL in a hit with emelin...

 

[Kriss E]

I have a client who's a Bruins fan, I told her after game 5, if Habs come back to win this series, Thornton is going to look like a real moron.

Ya, seriously I don't get it. I mean, Weise, okay, he's been mocking Lucic all series long, but Emelin? What did he do? Threw a few hard checks here and there? What the hell man..

The irony here is Lucic calling Weise a baby if he wants to talk about it. Threatening to kill someone the following season because you lost is a pretty good example of being a "baby".

I somehow have a cousin in Canada who is a Bruins fan and I told him after game 5 that Thorton's antics are the reason why we are going to win the series and come back and win the series.

I think that the comments in that article are reflective of real life.

My experience with Bruins fans has always been positive.

I think that hockey message boards tend to bring out the "******" factor in people who are normally just regular and respectful people in real life.

You are right, its probably the same thing with Habs fans, habs fans on HF can be idiots but I've never met an idiot Habs fan irl.

was really hoping to see milan be a man and shake emelins handshake and pat him on the chest or shoulder or something for a hardfought series.. really disapointed in lucic cuz i always liked him, considered him better than that pos marchand so really upsetting to see lucic be such SUUUCH a sore loser like that, and like you said the weise thing , ok we get it, but emelin like come on man, the guys busts his ACL ,comes back from it and then beats you in a playoff series and you cant be a man about it..

i mean i love it as a habs fan, but i hate it as a normal human being with respect for others

this is the WORST part about the whole thing to me

spear someone in the nuts.. and then call him a CHICKEN in the post game interview

then he threatens someone and refuses to go thru the handshake in a respectable fashion...then whines about the whole thing in the post game interview and calls the OTHER guy a baby???

the WHOLE thing hurts the head to think about or to process... the word i want to use is "hypocrite" but its just...no he's a hypocrite..

Ya, I really felt the same. They always say ''don't poke the bear'', but it looks like we were the bears this time around. Bruins antics seem to have really been a source of motivation. From Hamilton and Krug's comments about figuring out Price (Price flicking the puck back towards Krug after he came down off the wing and ripped one on him was beautiful), to Lucic chest pump, muscle flex, Thornton's water, Julien's press conference whining tactics, it really looks like it helped the Habs.

Ya the absolute hate he seems to have towards Emelin doesn't make much sense.

I completely agree. Its been about 2 years since I felt like I was on the same page as you but I feel like we are there again.

I love being a Habs fan and watching this success. Where do you live? You have any chance of seeing a game live this post season?

Great article! Kudos to the writer!

 

[Kimota]

People often mistake Boston culture and Bruins culture.

 

[Stoneburg]

When you play hockey as an eight year-old they teach you good sportmanship, to shake hands respectfully after the game, dunno how Milan missed that.

Saying that "baby" stuff just makes him look worse.

Yes it's been a while we saw eye to eye
I'm in Mtl, so ya, I could go, but as much as the Bell Center is fun, I really love watching the games in a bar downtown. I mean, tickets I could get last round were 300$ a pop. That's a little too much for me.

Not me of the 4 bruins fans I know well. 2 are by their own admission complete arseholes. 1 is a cool guy and the other is an arsehole but won't admit it.

 

[Brainiac]

I hope we're done with them for a few years. This is getting old, really.

Lucic is still being a ***** about the hip check from a few months ago.

And if Lucic didn't want to get mocked, he should flex and pound his chest like an idiot. That **** always comes back to bite you in the ass.
